[edit] Translation

Wouldn’t a literal translation of Störkampfstaffeln and Nachtschlachtgruppe be „harassment squadron” and “night battle wing” instead of “night harassment squadron” and “night harassment wing”? Rosentredere 17:23, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Maybe, I got those translations from Bishop's book (see references) I double checked them they do say “night harassment squadron” and “night harassment wing”. Maybe Bishop's translation of the German is wrong, I always thought, they seemed odd. --Bryson{Talk}{Edits} 17:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
To me Bishop's terms look more like a descriptions of the duties these units took on, not like translations of their actual names as there is neither a “Nacht” in “Störkampfstaffeln” nor a “Stör” in “Nachtschlachtgruppe”. Rosentredere 18:21, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
